The Cold Can’t Hurt Daimler’s Electric Trucks
Medium and heavy duty trucks are essential for a variety of industries such as construction, transportation, and logistics. They are used to transport goods, equipment, and materials over long distances. These trucks need to work under all conditions because industries that rely on them cannot afford any delays or downtime.
So, it is critical to ensure that these trucks can work under all conditions to meet the demands of the industry they serve. “Testing our product range under extreme winter conditions is also an essential part of our vehicle development in terms of alternative drives,” said Dr. Christof Weber, Head of Global Testing Mercedes-Benz Trucks. “Haulage companies must be able to rely on our electric trucks in a highly competitive environment at any time of year, just as they are used to from conventionally powered vehicles. For this reason, our test engineers in Finland put the vehicles through their paces for six weeks.
Mercedes-Benz Truck’s experts focused on testing the battery properties and electric drivetrains of the eActros LongHaul and the eActros 300 Tractor in harsh weather conditions. During the test, various elements, such as the drivetrain’s starting properties and its ability to withstand low temperatures, were tested. Similarly, the software and interfaces associated with the drivetrain were evaluated.
